indistinct ; a narrow marginal reddish-brown line bordered in- 

 wardly by a series of pearly-grey lunules between the nervules, 

 those towards apex small and indistinct ; the apical spots are 

 bordered inwardly by some indistinct lunules composed of shining

 band containing a series of seven large black spots with orange 

 margins, situated between the nervules, and bordered inwardly by 

 a narrow shining purple sinuous band; a narrow submarginal 

 band of reddish-brown inwardly bordered by lunules of pearly-

 curved, pale creamy-yellow, almost white in some places, costal 

 edge, margins, and lower part inclining to dark orange ; two 

 narrow, black, indistinct, and slightly waved submarginal lines, 

 between which the ground colour is somewhat paler ; a sub- 

 marginal series of indistinct round black spots between the ner-
